Ethyl's Place is a cozy, vintage, small-town dream! If you choose to stay here make sure you read Deb's renovation story paired with the picture album of her journey; it's gives you invaluable insight and appreciation for the home! Deb left us (and our dogs) goodies and had everything else well stocked :)

Very easy to get to. Loved all the antique furniture & nostalgic decorations for the Christmas holiday. Kitchen was very roomy , but would’ve been nice a slightly larger convection/toaster oven to cook our breakfast casserole in.

This place is so fun to see all the cute decorations inside the house. A walk down memory lane. Cozy living room with enough sitting space for family to visit. Fireplace flame was so relaxing.
Blanco is a cute small town to walk around.

I would give it more stars if I could! The house is beautifully restored and decorated. The host was so incredibly nice and responsive. She left a bag of goodies, oranges, bananas and snacks! The bathtub is amazing! And there are bath salts and bubble bath that smell wonderful. The pull out couch bed was super comfy. We felt very pampered It's a great location, close to many restaurants and the grocery store is just a few minutes away. Would definitely stay here again! 10 stars!
